Canlubang is a major industrial zone located in the province of Laguna, southwest of Metro Manila. It was once a hacienda during the Spanish occupation of the Philippines.
Canlubang straddles four component cities of Laguna: Biñan City, Cabuyao City, Calamba City, and Santa Rosa City, and the municipality of Silang in Cavite. and the barangay of Sirang Lupa.
The official political division with the name Canlubang is a barangay in Calamba City and is sometimes referred to as West Calamba. It is also the largest barangay in Calamba City.
History
Canlubang traces back into the 16th century. It was originally owned by a group of sangleys (Chinese) residing in Calamba. It was confiscated by the government and sold at a public auction to a peninsular, Don Tomas de Andaya in 1678. It was then acquired by the Jesuits on January 29, 1759. When the Jesuits were expelled in the Philippines, the land was again confiscated by the government and sold again at a public auction to Don Jose Clemente de Azanza on November 19, 1802. It was acquired by the Dominicans on June 28, 1831.
When the Americans colonized the country, the land was classified as Friar land and was again acquired by the government on October 19, 1905. Alfred Ehrman, leader of a group of American businessmen from California organized and incorporated the Calamba Sugar Estate on June 14, 1912 which purchased the friar land. The Calamba Sugar Estate managed by Louis Weinzheimer and his family is known as the second sugar central in the Philippines. The sugar mill started its operations on December 1, 1914. It also planted coconuts on its property and was a model sugar plantation from 1920 to 1930s.
The Americans sold the estate to Vicente Madrigal on the onset of Japanese occupation. In 1948, Madrigal was unable to run the estate successfully due to labor unrest. He offered the estate to a good friend Jose Yulo, a bright lawyer and legal counsel of the estate since 1927. The Yulos acquired the estate in 1948 and improved the financial and social status of the estate within two years through reforms. His wife, Cecilia Araneta Yulo was instrumental in the construction of a school (now Rizal Institute), the church of St. Joseph, civic and recreational centers, and the first outdoor drive-in moviehouse. Sports facilities such as the baseball field, swimming pools, tennis courts, bowling lanes and golf course were also built. The company was also expanded into a pulp facility known as the Canlubang Pulp which purchased more than 80% of the total abaca produced in the country.
During the 1970s, less land was available for sugarcane since planters sold their land to developers or converted them into subdivisions. Profit of the mill is decreasing. The Yulos realized a need for a comprehensive master plan for the estate. They sought the assistance of National Artist for Architecture Leandro V. Locsin and the Canlubang Urban Project was born. Locsin designed Canlubang as a pioneer sustainable satellite city to attract investors in Laguna. In 1972, the first integrated industrial park was built outside Metro Manila. Canlubang became the catalyst of what is now known as Project CALABARZON.[1]
